    Traction control fault.

    I have an issue with the traction control. I don't care about the traction control itself but the light being on is an mot failure. It also brings the ABS light on sometimes too. Anyway anyone have a clue what to do with the following faults? I've replaced the steering angle sensor and I...

    AD08S gone blue.

    So obviously can't be a good thing but how much does having the blue edges matter?

    on track, struggling to change down from 4th to 3rd.

    As title really. When coming towards a corner and braking it didn't like going into 3rd. I wasn't heel and towing so learning/practicing that might help but anyone got any suggestions? The clutch feels good and its had new gearbox oil. Cheers

    you get what you pay for.

    This is what my ds2500 looked like after 100(ish) track miles and about 2000 easy road miles. Track miles were at Donnington at zero ambient temp. No more than 15mins at a time. This is what pagid blue look like after 150 track miles and about 500 road miles. Track was Oulton, ambient...

    sorry another brake thread. Carbotech vs Pagid

    I need some good pads. I killed some ferodo ds 2500 in 1 day with ambient temp close to zero. I've been quoted £249 for a set of Carbotech 8s and I can get Pagid Blue for £184. What would you choose?

    pagid discs from ECP.

    Can get a front set for £45. Any reason I should avoid them and choose brembo hc instead? Sorry I know its yet another brake thread but couldn't find anything about these discs using the search.

    should I be worried about the state of my pads?

    Because I am worried. They are ds2500 and are around 3000 miles old with 1 trackday.

    whoever was first to fit a Fabia splitter is a genius.

    Just fitted one to my car after some numbty ripped off an original one on a ramp. Its not quite as good as the original but it's £13 vs £160. Very pleased indeed.

    how much for a 4 wheel alignment with front camber setup??

    Never had a it done before but ive been quoted 90 plus vat which seems a lot to me. Id have thought around 50 would be about right. Anyone know anyone in Leeds area??

    how much oil consumption is normal?

    Ive just topped a litre after 3000 miles inc about 120 hard track miles. I've had a few RS Clios but not seen this rate of consumption before. Im using Gulf competition oil if that makes any difference and the car is on 92500 miles

    how cheap would you go on rear pads.

    I need some rear pads and seen prices as low as £12 per set. Would anyone go that cheap? Rears do sod all!!!

    running a tyre in the wrong direction.

    How bad is it? I won't be doing it long just sorting a puncture but just interested. I assume it will be more prone to aqua planning but anything else?

    puncture repaired tyre for track days.

    What are people's thoughts? Ive got a nail in a fairly new ad08. I was thinking of binning it and buying new but a mate said a repair would be fine.

    airbag light and mot.

    Got an omp steering wheel and ive removed the standard seats so as you'd expect the airbag and serv lights are on. Id read that having lights on is now an mot failure. So ive simply broken the lights. Sounds a bit stupid I know but its just a cheap high mileage track car so im not bothered...

    how "fixable" are wheels?

    2 of my wheels have a slight buckle. They balance up fine and cause no vibration. Anyone know if they can be straightened?

    new steering rack bushes, huge improvement.

    Just wanted to report that I had new steering rack bushes fitted and its a huge improvement. Obviously it depends on how bad the old ones were. Cant report much about fitting as I botled it and paid someone. All in the best £100 yet on the car.

    Trackday today and i could not keep the front left wheel bolts tight.

    Basically after about 10 laps of Donington today the front left wheel was loose. I tightened the bolts up went out again, came in after 4/5 laps and again the bolts on the front left were loose this happened everytime i went out. I was not torquing with a torque wrench but I was using a big bar...

    think I've got a temp issue!!

    This is my 5th mk2 RS Clio. On all my others the temp sits just above half way. On the current car it's sits as below. It does move to the normal place but drops down again. I can use all the revs so I assume the oil is getting warm enough but just wondered what could be the problem?

    Toe setting for track car.

    My track toy is almost done, just needs tracking sorted. I've been told the standard setting may not be the best for a track car. Summat about being completely straight rather than toeing in. My setup is 172 cup shocks, Eibach pros and camber bolts which I'm looking to have set at neg 1.5...

    TC light on after fitting omp steering wheel.

    Fitted an omp steering wheel. The wheel went on fine but the horn button was broken after the first press the horn was constant. Whilst messing with it a wire caught the boss and blew the fuse for the horn. Well I hope it's just the fuse. Anyway went for a drive and the TC light is on. Is...

    Why do seats, subframes and side mounts not come with bolts?

    Just ordered all the bits to fit seats to my 172 project. Well almost all the bits, no bolts!!!! How annoying.

    exhaust mani to cat bolt loose and rounded.

    Got a rattle at 3500 on my 172. Found that one of the bolts is loose that joins the mani and cat. I tried to sort it but the nut was rounded from someone probably using mole grips. Any advice on best way to sort it as it looks very difficult to grind it off. Thanks

    £600 to spend. Anything better than Koni and Eibach.

    Hi. I'm soon to be buying new suspension. Was pretty set on koni shocks with sportlines but as I get closer to the time I think should I try something different. I want the konis because I don't want to spend 600 on coilovers to then spend another load corner weighting etc. I have read...

    what's this?

    Was being driven nuts by a buzzing. Found it was this in the interior light fitting. What is it?

    Koni shocks. Any lower than standard?

    I want to fit koni shocks with sportlines. I've read good things about this setup but just wondering will it go lower than standard shocks with sportlines? No overly bothered. The main purpose is the setup but it's nice have the looks as a by product.
